Hi my wifi comes on and works but keeps going off while still showing that I have full signal then coming back on again. Any suggestions on how I can sort this problem out would be much appreciated as it is very annoying.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] GeorgeeCarterr:
Another fing I have the latest radio but still had the same problem on my 1st radio. It used to work fine up until my router broke and I had a replacement off talk talk the white picture frame eco 1
[Hero, G2 Touch General] richuu:
I just swapped out my TalkTalk supplied Hwawei 520b, as I was experiencing the same issue. I now have a Cisco / Linksys WAG120N and it works faultlessly, and I get a faster DSL sync speed to boot (up from about 5.2mbps to 7.6mbps!)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] GeorgeeCarterr:
Yee, the router I had before was a linksys cisco and it worked fine with that. Must b this crappy modem then: (
[Vibrant General] zimphishmonger:
Just picked up a Vibrant last night, to replace my trusy old G1. I have noticed that there seems to be a LOT of lag in the market, especially when its trying to load the images, or when trying to load up the first install screen after you click "install" or "update". Is this the "Galaxy S lag" ive been hearing about, or has anyone else noticed this as an issue on this device?

Thanks!

Note: I am on WIFI, so the internet connection shouldnt be any issue, and I am rooted.
[EVO 4G General] kylelerner:
This has been confirmed to work with both me and a friend of mine.

Let me know if it works for you!!

I hate doing hard resets, so I'm very happy this worked!!!

Call Sprint and get your MSL Unlock Code. It's a six number code.

Instructions:

Go to the phone dialer, and dial ##GPSCLRX#

Then, input the 6 character number code, and press OK.

The phone will soft reset, and GPS will be working splendidly!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] flexte:
my phone is still rebooting
[EVO 4G General] mdizzle9:
I know this is an old post.. but what issue is this exactly? I have a problem where if I turn my GPS on after having it off for a while, it takes forever before I can actually use the GPS feature (i.e. for navigation). Is this what this post is referring to?
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Easier way to get the MSL is to download the app MSL Reader.

[EVO 4G General] flexte:
My phone reboot when I'm using gps
[EVO 4G General] Toaplan:
The issue is that the device will reset itself when you are using GPS. For example, my device often will reset itself when I am using GPS and I take an incoming call. I am able to take the call, but the phone will reset after 1-2 minutes of talk time. I applied this fix yesterday and am interested to see what the results are.
[EVO 4G General] .jond:
You rule. Thanks.

Sprint was being jerks about giving me the code.

Just downloaded the app. In less than 2 minutes I have the code, have done the fix and rebooted.

Nice....
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Hopefully you don't have the rebooting issue. Glad it worked! Sprint acts like the world will end by giving you the code.
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
I thought the latest OTA was supposed to fix this. I, personally, have not done the update as it has some audio restart problems. So i do plan on trying this fix.
[EVO 4G General] mtgmt:
ok i did this and so far my phone has reset itself three times and the GPS was never on, WTF

mt
[EVO 4G General] .jond:
Yeah it seemed to fix it for me.

I also turned off the GPS location stuff too. Not sure if that made any difference.
[EVO 4G General] dm36415:
I tried every suggestion to fix my GPS reboot issue, the ##gpsclrx#, in various combinations with removing applications, full factory reset, different ROMS, etc.

Final solution was to replace the device (my HW002 with a new HW004), I'm pleased to say I reinstalled all my apps and the problem has been solved. Definitely was a hardware problem.

Silver lining is that I now have a new "ePod" (my old EVO), I listen to Pandora all day at work via WiFi on my old device, I can keep it plugged in and connected to my Bluetooth speaker without having to interrupt for calls.
[Desire General] talhamid:
Dear All

I am a NOOB. Got my HTC Desire a few weeks ago and it didn't take long to hit the stupid app installation limit of internal memory. Now every time I want to install an app I have to remove an old one. Not pretty.

My question is simple:

1) What is the SAFEST, BEST way to root an Orange-branded HTC Desire?

2) What is the easiest way to enable app installation on memory card and is it possible without rooting?

3) What is the best way to back up the phone before rooting (since it presumably factory resets the phone)

4) Is there a good ROM that has HTC Sense AND Froyo with ALL hardware and software features working?

I have trawled the net and I know answers to these questions are floating all around, I just want the DEFINITIVE version.

Thanks in advance!I hope someone will answer.
[Desire General] airheli1201:
Answer:

1. your answer can be found here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189

2. only possible with root or wait for offical froyo

3. Just back up your sd card. You can go back using RUU

4. I am using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726300

no problem so far.

Once you root, you wont regret:p

Search button is your friend. I got all my information with search button. So many helpful threads already
[Desire General] :
I recommend you my ROM which is in the process of uploading.

It looks like HTC Sense Android 2.2 ROM but with percent battery (can be reverted to stock battery). It also has the option of installing ExpressoBar mod which makes the Sense UI look better. It has A2SD+ which lets you install apps to SD by default. It also has access to ALL Android apps in the market. If you don't like it you can simply change it to another Sense Android 2.2 ROM.
[Desire General] talhamid:
Thanks very much guys. Actually search button is too good since it also confuses. I sincerely appreciate the help. Lolly your rom sounds amazing. Guess I will be giving it a shot. Just one more question. How about unrevoked
[Touch HD General] whitekidney:
Is there any way to make the screen more responsive like the newer models or like the iPhone?

One thing that dissapointed me about the Blackstone was the "laggy" touchsreen.

Any fix? I know it can be done.
[Touch HD General] sergioiacobucci:
well i am sure you are aware the difference in capacitive and resistive touchscreens does make the difference.

If you want touch flo to be more responsive then install HD Tweak in your blackstone and change the sensitivity settings to very high I found this made it better for me.

Are you on a stock ROM?

//Serg
[Touch HD General] Dodger:
Use this one.

Found it a long time ago on XDA Dev

Makes your screen very responsive.

buy a hd2 or an iphone ;)
[Vibrant General] al74:
Am I the only one feeling that the volume keys are a little loose? The function fine but make a sound when I shake the phone. If it's just me I'll probably return it.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
+1 Same here
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
Some here, a little loose. My wife's is the same, also. The power button is much tighter.
[Vibrant General] al74:
OK. Seems like replacing the phone won't help. I'll just get use to it I guess.
[Vibrant General] Welshy992:
Mine doesn't make any sound when I shake the phone. If I were you I'd swap it. Rocket had very slight amount of give but I wouldn't classify it as loose.
[Vibrant General] Welshy992:
Rocker*
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
Volume and power buttons are all tight and make no sound on mine when I shake the phone.
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
Hmm, my volume button is loose too. Sounds very cheap/janky... especially when the phone vibrates!

Might try a return.

This bothers me most about the phone. Otherwise, it's an awesome device.
[Vibrant General] Mr_Tricorder:
Same for me too. No problems whatsoever.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
My rocker is loose. Power button is very snug. I have the black case from t mobile on so I don't care though.
[Vibrant General] quickex99:
I just did an exchange on my vibrant.. the volume key on the one he brought out was extremely loose.. I made him get me another from the back and it felt nice and tight. I guess some are like that.
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
I just exchanged mine in-store too and got a unit with a much more solid volume button.

Hi,

Is the Capacitative screen of this phone is scratch resistant like iPhone? I was able to use my iPhone for 2years without getting a scratch on screen. I am awaiting my phone in mail, was thinking of buying accesories...

Thank you
[Captivate Accessories] uberamd:
I won't be getting a protector for mine. As long as you are careful, you'll be fine.
[Captivate Accessories] systoxity:
Even people with ocd make mistakes. Get the case from att and a screen protector. Protect your investment. Trust me.
[Captivate Accessories] Panduh:
Very true. And that whole scratch protector is kinda a lie. You can see pics/vids where the iPhone screen is pretty scratched.
[Captivate Accessories] Shovelhead84:
No offense to anyone posting on this topic but I do not understand the purchase of accessories from AT&T or any other provider store. Items for these phones can be purchased significantly cheaper from online.

I bought a box of cut-to-size screen protectors for $5 from amazon and it has lasted our family through several phones and replacements. Touch screen function is not hindered and clarity is perfectly fine.

Though I use screen protectors, I do not believe in phone cases. I feel a phone is built to fit the users hand and cases add unwanted bulk that I don't like. Accidents do happen but in most situations you will cause no more than cosmetic damage. Use some sense when handling your phone and it should last until your next.

I remember recently having a "discussion" with my wife as to why she paid more to get a white iphone and then put a case on it. This baffled me to the point of agitation and I had to drop the conversation.

If really concerned, just get insurance through your provider or home insurance company. At least until the phone price drops after the next big release.
[Captivate Accessories] itissat:
Thanks

Thanks for the replies, will be getting a case any way, still thinking of screen protector...
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
QFT on all that. I bought like 6 from Ebay China for like $1 and they work better than Apple's $10 ones.

That's a calculated risk.

Is spending $5/mo with a $50 deductible worth it versus spending $30 for a case???

You obviously have not used any good cases. Not all cases are like Otterbox and add half a pound to the weight and an inch to the thickness... SwitchEasy was my favorite when I had my iPhone. Waiting for something similar on the Captivate now.

I'm debating this as well.
[Captivate Accessories] gissentml:
I got the body glove case from att and a pack of screen protectors. The att rep put it on for me bubble free. I keep the case on when i am out and take it off at my desk at work. The phone is beautiful. The screen protector is more finger friendly and shows no smudges.
[Captivate Accessories] Ryukeima:
Definitely get a screen protector. Accidents happen, no matter how careful you are. And I would suggest a body glove of some type, again, accidents happen.
[Captivate Accessories] androidftwin:
What brand of screen protector do you guys recommend?
[Captivate Accessories] systoxity:
aaaaaaaaahhhhhaha white iphone with a case. i lol'd. women eh?

with ur statement on bulk, get one with a minimalistic design. a case not only protect ur phone but look sexy too. if you scratch a case you can replace it hangin on to that sex appeal. scratch a phone and ur sol. Also good condition is important for resale

oh but if ur really against cases just get one like leather case that you only keep it in while ur not using it
[Captivate Accessories] Shovelhead84:
Case:

I understand both sides. I guess "accidentally" putting my phones through more punishment than I thought they would endure has given me excess confidence in their physical design. I am a fan of the "phone pocket" now in most jeans and cargo pants. It is comfortable and easy to grab (also stays low to the ground). I would like to take some advice and get a nice case but I guess my wife's iPhone cases have already left me disapproving and I hate to add bulk, but maybe I'll try again. I'll admit the Captivate is a bit "smooth."

Screen Protector:

There is not to much to argue about here. I wouldn't worry about brand.

1. Does it stick to the screen?

2. Is it clear?

3. Does it fit?

If you answer YES to all three of these then it is a good screen protector.

If you answer NO to any one of these questions, KEEP SHOPPING.

I'll take a look later to see what brand the box is I have at home so I can post it.
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Slim but durable cases are possible. Just very few companies put forth the effort to engineer one.

Switch Easy, they only make for iProducts but when I had my 3GS it was great. A thin rubber around the outside (protect it from shocks and also keeps the case itself from scratching it), then you snap a horizontal then a vertical case that form into one hard case... It was very thin (nothing like the bulk of an Otterbox), yet I think you could have thrown it across the room and the phone been fine.
[Captivate Accessories] Landulf:
I recommend the invisibleShield by Zagg. Had one on my iphone and totaled out a work van by flipping it with the phone sitting on the dash. Was one single mark on the iphone screen and it came off when I put a new Shield on it. I was impressed. It feels a bit rubbery for a screen protector at first but never noticed any impedance with touch sensitivity. Costs a bit more then normal protectors as well but again well worth it if you ask me.
[Captivate Accessories] Shovelhead84:
Just got home and looked at the protectors I have. The brand is WRITERIGHT (universal screen protectors)

A set of 10 was dirt cheap ($3) and I have been using them for about 2 years. They are cut-to-fit and will cover the entire face of the captivate.
[Captivate Accessories] pogiewun:
hello all. first post on here. just got my captivate last saturday and still waiting for martin fields to make a screen protector for this phone. they are a lil pricey, but totally worth it.
[Captivate Accessories] dmnall:
Well when I picked up my Captivate, I picked up the Body Glove Silicone Case from ATT because I prefer to keep any new devices in a silicone/gel style case for some protection. My sister and mom picked up the Captivate after they played with mine on Sunday *7-19-2010* and called me last night to set up my mom's phone and install a screen protector *3x for $ 9.99 at the corporate att store in my area*, for installing the sp and transfering the contacts *manually* and setting up gmail, I got a SP for free for my captivate for 15 minuets worth of work. Not too bad and I am a little more less worried then the last 2 days..

HTH,

Charlie
[Captivate Accessories] JETninja:
Wow, 16 replies and not one answer to the original question about the Glass.

Many devices like Microsoft Zunes have a special hardened Glass, you can use keys, knives, razor blades etc to it and not scratch them. If a screen protector makes you warm and fuzzy go for it, but if this device (I don't yet know what Glass it has) has "that" Glass then its a waste of money. It's going to take a hell of a hit to break it, and a sceen protector wont prevent that.

You can read about such glass here:

http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2009/04/glass-screen-durability-test-a-lesson-on-the-mohs-hardness-scale.php

I ran a screen protector on my HTC Hermes for years, and hated it. Finally removed it last year and love it. And no scratches. (Case has flip cover for when its in your pocket) A lot more depends on how you treat it. I have 4 sons, 2 of them seem to destroy electronics, 2 of them don't. :D
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Perhaps because nobody knows? And also nobody is going to scratch their expensive device just to find out.

[Captivate Accessories] V DidDy 210:
I agree to a point, I never used a case or screen protector on my iPhone and I dropped it (drunkenly so add x10) and while it has a few chips on the corners, there are no major scratches and the screen is still perfect.

I wouldn't put a case on the captivate either, but the rep gave it for free and It it is the best case i've ever used. fits literally like a glove. and it doesn't add any bulk (it's really slim) and since it raises the edges a bit I'm not gonna put a screen protector on it

and it helps keep sweat off it in the gym
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
I am in the NO Screen Protector camp.

The Screen is glass - not plastic like the resistive touchscreens on PDAs. PDAs started the whole screen protector business as the screens were soft and would scratch - it only took a little burr on a stylus and you were screwed.

Glass screens are hard to scratch. It can happen, but not easily. I have had my iPhone and other Android phones riding comando for years, with no scratches on the screen.

Unless you put your phone in a bag with rocks or nails, you should be fine going naked.
[Captivate Accessories] adelaney:
In the contrary, new plastics are tougher to scratch than glass. If you want to take a chance off getting your screen scratched, go for it. You can barely te ll its there, why not protect it.
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
Please reference a plastic that is harder to scratch then glass - I am not aware of any.

Plastics will resist shattering and bend more then glass, but I know of none that will not scratch very easily - this includes acrylics (Corian is a very hard acrylic, then there are sheets and tubes); Lexan, which can stop hammers and not easily crack or shatter, but will scratch - Similar to other Polycarbonates; Polyester based plastics and many more.

There is a reason why windshields on cars are not plastic - plastic scratches easily and glass doesn't. Same goes for reading glasses - polycarbonate is lighter, but it scratches.

Plastic has lots of advantages over glass, but one big reason it has not replaced glass in windows, automobiles, and everywhere else is that a dirty rag will scratch it.
[Captivate Accessories] Croak:
And a grain of quartz sand in your pocket can scratch glass, even hardened glass like "Gorilla Glass".

Saw an iPhone 3GS scratched all to hell recently...chick that owned it kept it in her purse, naked. When she'd go digging around in there for lipstick, gum or a tampon, her diamond (or CZ) wedding ring would occasionally touch the screen. A few months of this and the screen was a mess.
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
I don't think that any of us that advocate a "naked" face are condoning putting the phone in a bag with crap or a pocket with keys.

Glass can scratch, I don't think anyone said it could not. I just don't like screen protectors - a layer of anything adds a small amount of visibility impairment and I don't want it.

But if you want to use one go for it. I will take the gamble and not use one. Just like putting a case on a phone - I go without - I don't want to add a single millimeter to the thickness.
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Really? Diamonds can scratch glass?

Stop the presses!!!!
[Captivate Accessories] mrpiggae:
Now that sir, was funny.
[Captivate Accessories] whitesox311:
anyone that doesnt put a screen protector or a case on their 500 dollar phone is just a cheap idiot

these are usually the same people that get pissed off when they crack their screen and then whine because they were too cheap to opt for insurance

why not take the insurance off your cars while you're at it!
[Captivate Accessories] accinfo:
well, car insurance is required by law, whereas phone insurance is not.

_____

Along with being 'cheap, there are other reasons for not buying protectors.

-friction when using the touchscreen

-dimmer screen

-better feel to the touch (people like to touch naked stuff, who doesn't?)
[Captivate Accessories] eunique:
I just came from the AT&T store yesterday....and the rep showed me...and hit the screen on the Captivate multiple times with a pen and no scratches...

he said it was very robust and no need for a screen protector.

He said that the pen would break that tip first before damaging that screen.

that said...I would not buy a protector for mine and try some care of the whole phone in general..but, if you would like extra protection...by all means,

get one and put it on.
[Captivate Accessories] FIREONHIGH:
pdair will be getting some leather cases in,,i reallly like their screen protectors,,,or i will go with otterbox, i like to keep it scratch free when i sell it for the next uberphone:D
[Captivate Accessories] cliffgardner:
otterbox ftw. hopefully they are working on one now.
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Don't hold your breath. They just released a case for the freaking Nexus One. Crappy timing being Google announced it wouldn't be offering them anymore.
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
Using your logic, you should wear a helmet and elbow pads while walking or sleeping. You could fall and kill yourself.

I would counter that anyone that puts a case and screen protector on a cell phone (increasing bulk and decreasing clarity) is an overprotective idiot. (You started slinging insults)

Everyone has different needs, I can't see spending as much (or more) on insurance as what the phone cost me. I would never pay $500 for a phone.
[Captivate Accessories] kkeo:
I wouldn't bother with one. I haven't had a screen protector on the 3 prior iPhones I've own. The only time I scratched my screen was when I took my WRX out on some sand dunes and left the phone on the dash. After going airborne in the car, it ended up flying off the dash and lodging itself in the seat rail... It was a deep enough gash that even a screen protector might not have saved it.

A friend of mine bought a Vibrant and promptly, and I mean just barely stepping out of the store into the parking lot, proceeds to drop his phone onto the pavement from about 4ft. It left two minor scratches on the screen. They're hardly noticeable when you're using the phone. So if anything the screen is at least durable enough not to shatter.
[Captivate Accessories] exparrot:
I am just back from Radio Shack with their cut-to-fit screen protectors because I did NOT buy one on day one. It's not because I now have 5-10 little micro-scratches, that is to be expected, but now I have a 'blemish' like a spot that has been rubbed away in the middle right portion of the screen. I am thouroughly pissed. If I buff the screen you can't see it, but if any residue of anything else, like my greasy hands is on the screen, it is totally visible.

I was talking to the ATT guy and he thought it was under the screen, but no, it's not, and when I asked him if it was 'Gorilla Glass' he said he was not aware that it was, soooooo....buff, cut and slap on a screen protector time.

Grrrr.
[Captivate Accessories] Windycity35:
Are you trying to prove that the screen protectors actually improve speed? :D
[Captivate Accessories] Windycity35:
I do believe an investment in a screen protector is a small price to pay. You never know what might come in contact with your screen, no matter how careful you are. A scratched cheapo $1-$5 protector can be replaced easily than the entire phone. Sadness and regret would be hard to replace after a mishap. :p
